Not only were we lucky enough to have HST haulage from Perth to Dundee but also for the return journey! Here, 43181 (seen earlier in the afternoon at Luchars) arrives at Dundee station with the 18.38 Aberdeen to Glasgow Queen Street. Unlike the earlier train that we travelled out on, whilst the power cars were refurbished, the coaches were straight off the Great Western lines having had nothing done to them bar the removal if their branding. So they still had their somewhat tired interiors, non-closed emission toilets and slam doors with drop-lights....luxury!
